PLAYER: Lone Sheep (aka Sheep)
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes of course! lonesheep
WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Probably already dead... there is zero chance I'm surviving that.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Number Five / The Umbrella Academy
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: 58-year-old time traveling ex-assassin stuck in his 13-year-old body, lived way too long in the apocalypse and loves to teleport everywhere.
THEIR TARAVAST #TEAM: Macaluso
WHAT ARE THEY GETTING UP TO IN THIS FINE OCTOBER? Five is (still) dealing with a curse he's stubbornly holding onto, and more unhinged than usual. He's going to be trying to keep on top of what's going on, keeping an eye on his family as much as he can while they're split up, and ??? Honestly, he's a ticking time-bomb and bad decisions will happen later this month. That said, very open to everything and I'm very into starting something new with him, so come at me and I'll probably be into it.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT:


ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

i. An unfortunate crime has taken been committed. By your character. How do they get away with murder?

Super easily. He's a professional time assassin who can teleport, he's going to get away and feel zero guilt about it for any murders that happen.

ii. What reasonable accessible thing or service can your character be bribed with?

He loves coffee. If you make it well enough, you've proven your worth and can expect him to show up for more. He also rarely turns down alcohol. And you know... if you have information on anyone who might be a threat to his family, he's not going to turn you away. (Also kind of wants to know how the fuck magic works?? He knows everything so it super bugs him that he doesn't get it.)

iii. In a world where justice actually exists, how often would your character get slapped by noon?

A lot?? He doesn't understand that laws are a thing and murder is usually involved in all of his plans. Can we pretend for a minute? I dare you to slap him, you can maybe get one in...

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO: Conspiracy-buddies, people who think they're smarter than him/will give him a hard time about his shit, f.....riends??? I'm fascinated by the concept that he can get a friend if you have a very high tolerance for assholes with seriously stunted social skills.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? If he sees a benefit to himself, he has very handy teleportation powers that makes it easy for him to get into places/steal things/etc. Someday he'll use his time travel for a good reason without destroying everything it could happen.

PLAYER: Spider
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Ye! PaleAntiquarian, and CellarSpider#9984
WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Recording my diaries in a fictional language of my own design, to confuse and irritate future archaeologists.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Slick (Star Wars: The Clone Wars)
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Side character picks a fight with the protagonists, is summarily ejected from the plot.
THEIR TARAVAST #TEAM: Vanoozle
WHAT ARE THEY GETTING UP TO IN THIS FINE OCTOBER? Restarting fight with a protagonist, finding new and exciting magical hair dyes.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT: i have no fun gifs of this guy, weh


ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

i. An unfortunate crime has taken been committed. By your character. How do they get away with murder?

Slick entered and exited through the vents like the sus little beastie that he is, then evades suspicion by being a generally likeable, reliable guy. As long as nobody cottons on to the fact that he doesn't have a strong alibi for where he was, he'll be fine!

ii. What reasonable accessible thing or service can your character be bribed with?

Hair dye, good food, and basic human rights.

iii. In a world where justice actually exists, how often would your character get slapped by noon?

He'd get slapped from here to next Tuesday by his squad and all the guys on Christophsis for trading secrets to the Separatists, but he's going to be jockeying for first in line to give the Jedi a smack on the mouth.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO: The dude's got freedom for the first time in his life, and he has no idea what to do with it. Soldier-y stuff feels natural, but he knows he's been brainwashed into feeling that way. Maybe there's other stuff he'd be into if he had the chance to try! So, he'd like to start poking about, asking people questions, trying out new things.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? kind of a difficult question for a clone but I'm going to say devious creativity is what he does best.

PLAYER: Dùlin
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP?The game discord server is the best bet to reach me since my Plurk is a bit more personal
WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Probably under my bed hiding with my cat, I will only be a zombie if the cat becomes one too.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S):
Beitang Moran, Oh! My Emperor
Xie Lian, Tian Guan Ci Fu novel-verse
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH:
Beitang Moran is the uncle of the Emperor of Huangdao, and also the former regent of that Empire because his brother got killed early and he ended up having to raise two kids plus keep a country together at 16, haha. Also the Star Master of the Aquarius and a know-it-all.
Xie Lian is a former Crown Prince who ascended to godhood at 17 and then the rest of his life went downhill from there. Don't want to post too many spoilers, but he's fine now, and married to his Ghost King boyfriend, just don't eat his food.
THEIR TARAVAST #TEAM:
Moran : Team Vannozza
Xie Lian : Team Maccaluso
WHAT ARE THEY GETTING UP TO THIS FINE OCTOBER?
Moran is apparently inheriting a small fortune and getting into the business of all these witches.
Xie Lian is helping the dragon rescue and also keeping an eye on Xue Yang just in case.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

i. An unfortunate crime has been committed. By your character. How do they get away with murder?
Moran is an Imperial prince. He will throw money at the problem until it disappears if that can be arranged. Someone else's money preferably because he thinks a banana costs 10 dollars.

Xie Lian ... doesn't, beause his luck is super bad and he also has gotten accused of stuff he didn't do in the past and just went along with it because it was easier than trying to explain.

ii. What reasonable accessible thing or service can your character be bribed with?
For Moran, knowledge.
For Xie Lian, free food.


iii. In a world where justice actually exists, how often would your character get slapped by noon?
I will confess to missing this particular reference and having no idea what the question means...

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO:
Moran needs to meet more people in general, he is a bit of a hermit who needs his space. Study group, people bothering him about his power, politicians.

Xie Lian needs to make more friends. I am in general keen on him not reveling he is an actual god unless it comes up in conversation, but cultivators, magic user, people who believe in higher powers in general would be neat. Also people with opinions on genocide lol.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER?
Moran has visions of the future that get triggered whenever his powers wants to, and they are always accurate. Feel free to use him to give your character trauma, it's fun.

Xie Lian is an absolute sword jock and he is very good at fighting, he just.... doesn't look like it, but he can punch through walls and he's pretty insanely physically strong.

PLAYER: Cella
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes, if you accept that 90% of my plurks are about how great my wife is at baking. shortitude
WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? I am the zombie, lbr. I don't run for buses, you think I'm gonna outrun a zombie? Yeah I'll be O U T. Omnomnom.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Hermione Granger / Harry Potter
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: One Harry Potter away from becoming a Dark Lord herself, to be honest.

THEIR TARAVAST #TEAM: Vannozza
WHAT ARE THEY GETTING UP TO THIS FINE OCTOBER?
Adapting to this new world, most likely. She's spanking new to Eastbound and the world is ripe with opportunity.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

i. An unfortunate crime has taken been committed. By your character. How do they get away with murder?
Burn the body and evanesco those ashes, babes.

ii. What reasonable accessible thing or service can your character be bribed with?
Books, the promise of knowledge, the safety of her friends, equal rights for all magical creatures, the abolishment of House Elf slavery, a seat in Parliament... Or, you know, at this point? A nap. Sugarquills.

iii. In a world where justice actually exists, how often would your character get slapped by noon?
Listen here, good sir - she's the one doing the slapping. (10 by noon every day.)

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO:
Hello, I am new and would like anything I can get my greedy paws on (they are greedy). Happy to develop antagonistic and positive CR in equal measure, so have no fear if you think our characters wouldn't get along! Such is the spice of life.

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER?
Big hair full of secrets. (I mean, ignore the icons, the movies stopped trying in the Deathly Hallow.)

[reparo]

people who think they're smarter than him/will give him a hard time about his shit

I'm sorry, you rang.

[downswing]

/opens arms

[reparo]

/dashes right into them

I really enjoyed their thread so far. Wangji's so courteous and all, meanwhile Hermione's ready to explode zombies she's so tired. More please. Slow realisations that Witches Be Like That.

[downswing]

JUST WAIT until you get to witness his various reactions to magic, there is 'appropriate' magic, and then there's wtf you guys are doing.

[downswing]

Also, pls be his daughter, he doesn't have a daughter, Lily fell off the raft :(

[lancifolium]

Excuse tf outta me she was never allowed on the life raft

[reparo]

Are you sure you want her as a daughter, Wangji, she doesn't have a great track record of how far she'll go to keep her parents safe.

[reparo]

shrink a dragon? explode zombies?? brew potions??? you're welcome

(tbh i am counting down the weeks until lily and hermione do a naked ritual dance by moonlight)

[reparo]

/slaps my dance card down right here

Moran, study group let's go. We've discussed this briefly so far but she will cry over a study group where people actually pull their own weight, bless tf out of her dumb jock friends.

Xie Lian, plenty of opinions on genocide, as well as friendship potential.

[somebadnews]

There is only a 100% chance of that going some kind of way with Hermione. Just because he doesn't know magic doesn't mean he isn't the smartest person in every room, please test him.

[reparo]

Oh yeah, I have no fucking idea if they'll a. get along really well and become a menacing duo or b. have hissing cat stand-offs every time. But I'm willing to find out, because the quest for knowledge is important too, Five, you don't just get born with it.

[somebadnews]

It's a mystery! Five is a wildcard with his CR. He has accepted that he doesn't know a lot about magic, it's not at all frustrating. Just give him time (lol).

He has some feelings about wands though.

[reparo]

Everyone has feelings about wands.

But listen - listen. Hermione actually travelled through time to go to more classes when she was 14 so I feel like they can bond over this, if she opens up. She's a bit closed off right now.

[somebadnews]

Somehow that should come up! He has several more feelings about time travel. He spends half his time working out equations to go back to some point in time, and eventually he'll figure out how to go across dimensions and back home with math it will definitely happen. (After he finds Luther...) Doesn't know you can do this with magic, seems fake.

He also still has the broken time travel briefcase too if she ever wants to tinker with that. Question mark how that would occur, but just wait for him to leave it out and have an overreaction at whoever dares to look at it.

WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? With the bears.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Lee Chang from Kingdom, and an original character named Fox.
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: Lee Chang was the crown prince in c. 1600 Korea during a zombie apocalypse, and Fox is a giant magic nerd from magic Toronto c. 2012.
THEIR TARAVAST #TEAM: Lee Chang: Vannozza; Fox: Macaluso
WHAT ARE THEY GETTING UP TO THIS FINE OCTOBER?
Lee Chang is going to go witness Zombie Fight Club and get Very Mad about it and possibly break out some zombies, if uh. If anyone wants a pet zombie. ... He doesn't. Anyway.

Fox is dying on the inside playing an idiot and using all his free time to study magic for the team. Magic nerd study group anyone??

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

i. An unfortunate crime has taken been committed. By your character. How do they get away with murder?
Lee Chang: By running away and/or starting a coup to overthrow the government...
Fox: So horrified with himself that he's probably punishing himself more than you could anyway

ii. What reasonable accessible thing or service can your character be bribed with?
Lee Chang: At this point, food delicacies His poor palette misses the palace food...
Fox: Just say that you will trade him whatever knowledge you have about your magic and he will do basically anything.

iii. In a world where justice actually exists, how often would your character get slapped by noon?
Lee Chang: HARD ONE... He's very up on justice himself but you know sometimes that comes with treason and mutiny so it's a toss up between being slapped and doing the slapping on any given day.
Fox: Mostly a good boy but gets smacked for corporate espionage stealing magic secrets every once in a while.

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO:
Lee Chang:
- Someone he just does not get along with on any level for them to be petty bitches at each other
- Smart women for whom he can drink Respect Women juice and think about Seo-bi

Fox:
- Magic study group bros
- Everyone likes him too much someone needs to want to shank him

WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER?
Fox has a wide range of magic abilities especially when it comes to enchanting shit. Lee Chang's got nothing except sass, organizational skills and #fashion

[reparo]

Oh my gosh that's a goal now. Tinker with the time travel suitcase.

[reparo]

Look at Lee Chang, absolutely working that shade of purple, damn. Your fave could never.

[somebadnews]

It would make his life easier if it worked. Just immediately give it back and forget that you ever saw it... thanks.

[reparo]

Look we're all past the point of hiding our magic and/or time travel devices. What if she makes you a coffee for five minutes with the suitcase.

[somebadnews]

It's a wonder he hasn't chucked that thing into the sea in frustration at this point, might as well try! Coffee is an excellent bribe. The guy he knew who made it the best went home, he hasn't noticed but it's very sad for him.

He's still going to sip his coffee and watch her that entire five minutes.

[downswing]

I feel as if Wangji and Slick are the token deadpan straight meme in the giant joke that is Eastbound, and they need to judge everyone, at some point.
